"We're looking at shifting some other aircraft from the south part of the state to boost our resources for our aviation firefighting requirements and we're also looking at additional strike teams which are made up of a command vehicle and five trucks that could be moved anywhere in a short amount of time," he said.

Meanwhile, the Rural Fire Service says strong winds and storms are expected to increase the fire risk across the New South Wales Riverina today.

A total fire ban is in place for the eastern and southern Riverina, which includes Albury, Deniliquin, Corowa and Berrigan.

The Mid-Murray zone manager for the Rural Fire Service, Lindsay Lashbrook, says it has been an intense summer and firefighters are fatigued.

"We've had a very busy time since just before Christmas, probably mid-December," he said.

"We've had a lot of storm activity, especially in the north part of our zone around Jerilderie, Conargo areas, there's been a lot of lightning activity and the brigades up there have been chasing fires now for a number of weeks and they're starting to get fairly fatigued."
